Description:
Cultured fibroblasts obtained from patients with tissue resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D3--dependent rickets, type II) contain normal, low, or undetectable concentrations of this hormone's receptor protein as measured by a ligand-binding assay. Extracts from these cells were evaluated for receptors by immunoassay with a recently developed monoclonal antibody to the chick receptor. The results show that a protein sedimenting at 3.7S and recognizable by the antibody exists in comparable concentrations in cells from both normal and resistant patients, irrespective of the hormone-binding abnormalities of the cells. This implies that deficiencies in hormone binding associated with inherited tissue resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 probably arise from structural variations in the receptor molecule and not from defective receptor synthesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pike, J W -- Dokoh, S -- Haussler, M R -- Liberman, U A -- Marx, S J -- Eil, C -- AM 15781/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- AM 32313/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 May 25;224(4651):879-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6326262" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
